Go over all the wiring again to make sure that the dvd player isn't on a permanent live. If it is, make it a switched live.
Put the battery on charge, then try it. It was probably too flat to jump start it (it does happen)
It appears to have had one in the front & been reapired on the cheap.
As said, it doesn't look to have the right head lights (no dual optics) The bit round the fog lights is silver, where as it should be black.
There are also no front end pics, i'm going with cat C or D on it.
There is...
Illiad Blue mk1 vee, one of only 8 in the UK.
V6 reg plate
Green cotton air filter
Shorter roof aerial
Ph2 rear lights
Osram diadems all round
Clear side reps with silver bulbs
Fully re-trimmed steering wheel.
Painted calipers (fronts with AP decals)
Exhaust boxes painted with high temp paint...
Thread tidied up a bit.
The OP asked for one pic, but as I guess some can't read or are just asw's they put more. They now have one pic as per the request.
Thanks.
I forgot to say earlier on, apart from them looking a bit suspect, are they legal ? Surely the fact that the wheels are out further than the arches makes them illegal ?
Willy engines do come up for sale a fair bit, they aren't that cheap though.
Maybe put a wanted ad on here ? Or look on clio16valver if you haven't already.
As above really, most folk just buy a rebuilt one. £200 for the one on ebay sounds good, I assume it's a rebuilt one ? As a new one would be a lot more.
I'm gutted for you, they are complete scum tbh.
As said, keep an eye out on ebay to see if the face plate turns up on there (without the rest of it)
It'll be no good to them unless they already have the actual stereo (they may have nicked that from someone else)
You should have got a price for the work BEFORE you agree'd to let them do the work.
Folk always say things to me like, it's not that far etc. Sod that, I want to know how far it is in miles etc.
In your case you basically gave him the green light to do the work, because of this he has now...
I'd hpi it up too, it always gets me wondeing when cars 'look too clean' The mesh grille is awful, it could be that the seller liked it, or scrimped on a repair (if it has had one)
It may of course just be a really nice loved car.
